Chapter 272 Chamber of Commerce
Chen Mu thought about it like this, and nodded secretly, with such foresight, it is normal to be able to achieve this achievement.
Chen Mu inquired about things related to the trade routes and caravans, and several people saw that Chen Mu was interested, but they did not hide it, and carefully described their understanding of the trade routes and caravans to Chen Mu.
"Our small city is also well-connected in all directions, and the roads leading to several surrounding towns are official roads, and there are many caravans passing by."
"It is precisely because there are many merchants in our small city, and there are often caravans passing by, that we will come to our small city to station, and there are many merchants in this city, so there is a chamber of commerce."
"But it has nothing to do with the Chamber of Commerce and the trade routes, and if you're interested, I'll explain it to you later."
"As for the trade routes, as far as I know, those official roads extend all the way to the surrounding cities, and it seems that most of them extend to the south and north, and there are not too many to the east and west."
"Yes, and very few of the crops grown by the people of the East and the West can be transported to us."
"I've heard that people in Western towns often suffer from droughts because of the dry soil, and there are often outbreaks of famine."
"The people in their small towns don't grow enough for them to eat, so how can they have the heart to sell those things elsewhere."
"It's good that they are self-sufficient, our city is not far from the capital, and with the appeasement of the officials of the capital, we are the people in the city who live a good life."
"As for the East and the West, it's hard to say, I heard that there are many corrupt officials in those two places."
At this point, one of the young men blinked vaguely.
When the other people heard this, they also nodded quietly, and a little sigh of emotion appeared on their faces.
When Master He heard a young man say this, he coughed lightly and looked up in the direction of Chen Mu again.
I was afraid that what these people said would anger Chen Mu. Or make Chen Mu suspicious.
But fortunately, Chen Mu didn't say much when he heard these people say that there were corrupt officials in the eastern and western towns.
He had expected this to be the case, and now that he heard someone say this, he only secretly wrote down the details.
When you return to Beijing in the future, you will have to visit the eastern cities and western towns.
Now that the government has been established, it is time to send officials from the government to clean up the corrupt officials in the prefectures and counties.
Thinking about it like this, Chen Mu smiled with satisfaction and said.
"However, now that the capital has set up a supervision office, I estimate that the corrupt officials in the eastern and western towns should not be rampant for too long."
"As long as those who sit in high positions in Beijing can pay attention to these things, those corrupt officials will have no way to live."
When Chen Mu said this, the few merchants sitting in front of him looked at each other and did not respond immediately.
Chen Mu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw everyone like this.
Why, could it be that he felt that there was something wrong with what he said.
Seeing this, Lord He, who was sitting next to Chen Mu, coughed lightly and glanced at the young people.
Those young people didn't know what Master He meant.
One of them came back to his senses after being reminded by Lord He's kissing cough, and he said with a leisurely sigh.
"Alas, Lord Ariga is here, so we don't have much to say, but we don't have hope that the overseer can manage officials and purge the government."
"This overseer has just been established, but it's okay, but it's hard to say whether this government can still guarantee honesty and honesty in the future."
"Although I heard that the overseer's office is set up and staffed according to the Lunban system, and this overseer's office is also managed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from above, but ......"
"When the decree was first issued, it was naturally hello, hello, hello, everyone, as for whether this decree may bring disadvantages in the future, it is difficult to say."
"It is said that the officials in the overseer's palace were temporarily removed from other posts by His Royal Highness the Prince, and in order to maintain balance, there are male and female officials."
"There are those who come from wealthy families, and there are those who come from poor families, although those people have different identities and positions, and they can have a fair attitude towards the states and counties in various places."
"But in the future, all the officials in this court will be rotated, and it will be easy for the prefectures and counties in various places to find the government officials who have cooperated and bribe and conspire."
These young people were far-sighted, Chen Mu raised his eyebrows when he heard those young people say this, and then nodded, and responded.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Lord He on the side saw that these young people were getting more and more outrageous as they talked, and Chen Mu on the side was still listening carefully, so Lord He became more and more flustered.
Oh no, this young man wouldn't be talking and slandering the two sitting on top.
If Chen Mu hears it, then these young people are a big crime to kill their heads!
Lord He immediately looked at the young people frantically, signaling them not to say more.
Although a few young people didn't know what Master He meant, but seeing that He Da Er's cough couldn't stop, several young people still retracted their words worriedly.
Someone handed him a cup of hot tea.
"Lord He, it's been cold in this town these days, don't catch a cold, I'll see that you're wearing thin, and I'll go back and wear thick clothes later."
When Lord He heard someone say this, he reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth, nodded in response, and cautiously glanced in the direction of Chen Mu.
Seeing Chen Mu looking at him with a smile, Lord He shuddered and hurriedly said.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's not a big deal for me, it's just ...... It's just that I accidentally choked on the wind just now, cough cough, son, you still don't have to ask about the overseer's office. ”
"These people are just merchants in the town, and they don't know the situation in the capital, let alone the plans and foresight of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to set up a superintendent of the palace."
"What they say is just their opinion, don't think about it."
Seeing He Dada say this, Chen Mu raised his eyebrows, then nodded, and responded.
He didn't take the words of those young people to heart, and those young people were stunned when they heard Lord He say this.
Why did Lord He explain their words to this young man?
Their words were indeed just their opinions, and they didn't take their words to heart, but look at the way Lord He looked......
Several of the two monks were confused, and they were all surprised.
Seeing that Chen Mu was not asking about the governor's mansion, Lord He breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head quietly.
Chen Mu drew the attention of several young people back, and asked about the situation related to the merchants, and the problems that need to be paid attention to when confirming the caravan merchants.
